Describe, prepare, approve, recorded¶
Every task in Axis follows the same four steps. The assistant prepares. You decide.
| Step | What happens | In the Halvorsen award |
|---|---|---|
| Describe | You say what happened, in your own words, or attach the document. | "Award RFQ-2026-00006 to Halvorsen." |
| Prepare | The assistant prepares the record and shows each step it takes. | It finds Halvorsen's quotation, SQ-2026-00015. |
| Approve | Work that posts or commits waits on a card for a person with the right seat. | The card shows the quotation and its request. You press Approve. |
| Recorded | The record is on the books, linked to the documents before it. | The award is recorded, and Needs Attention asks for its Purchase Order. |
Routine work, such as a draft or a report, runs as soon as you ask. Each task below says whether it waits for approval. See Approvals for why.
The cycle¶
The dashboard draws five pipelines, and the diagram shows how they hand work to each other. Each box is a stage on the dashboard. A box marked posts writes to the ledger. An arrow between two pipelines shows where one hands its work to the next: a shortfall on a bill of materials starts a requisition, and a shipment starts an invoice.
